Yes, noload behaviour does not match the documentation. Worse, noload has
evolved to mean different things depending on object file format. See
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2010-September/068723.html and other
messages in that and following months with the subject "SEC_NEVER_LOAD
cleanup".
As far as the SHF_WRITE flag goes, that is of course the normal thing for bss
style sections. I do understand why you might want a bss style .plt read-only
(with ld.so flipping page protection bits to write and initialise the contents)
so I'm not saying ld can't change, just explaining the current situation.
